On the way home, Brianna couldn’t help but ask, “Did you catch the guy from Seaside City?”
We’ve tracked down where he is, but we haven’t caught him yet,” Brandon replied.
How are you planning to deal with him?” Brianna probed.
Brandon didn’t answer.
There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Just let the police handle it,” Brianna said, not wanting any more trouble.
That’s letting him off too easily.” Brandon’s voice was laced with menace.
He was like a fierce lion, ready to pounce on his prey.
Brianna felt a wave of unease wash over her.
Life was already complicated enough. She didn’t want any more Arama.
She spoke to him softly, trying to calm him down. “Brandon, All I want is for our family to be safe and sound. Promise me you won’t do anything crazy. Think of it as a blessing for our/baby.”
When Brianna said that, Brandon finally relaxed.

ni sorry, Brianna Lnever realized how much you’ve suffered, Brandon said.
Brianna was stunned, caught off guard by his words.
The pain she’d worked so hard to suppress surged up again.
Tears poured down her face, unstoppable, like a dam breaking.
She couldn’t even tell why she was acting this way. She was falling apart in front of him, like some helpless kid.
Just as they stepped inside, Judy spotted them and looked completely stunned.
“Mr. Levy, Mrs. Levy, you’re back?” Judy asked.
Brandon just nodded and kept moving. He headed upstairs with Brianna in his arms.
He called out to Judy, “Make some soup for Mrs. Levy, something light.”–
Judy watched him acting like a dominant CEO. She couldn’t help but flash a knowing smile.
‘What a good–looking couple,‘ Judy thought. ‘If only they could always stay this lovey–dovey. They’re just so shippable. Brandon gently laid Brianna down on the bed.
He sat down beside her and took her hands in his. He apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry. I had no idea you’d been through so much pain. I guess I was just being too presumptuous. Will you forgive me?”
Seeing the genuine remorse in Brandon’s eyes, Brianna was left uncertain, not knowing how to respond.
After all these years of marriage, every time she got upset, he’d either give in or apologize.
But he never really meant it. Those apologies were just words/He was only saying it to placate her.

Chapter 50*
ce the relationship between Brandon and Darey or the truth about who the real father of her baby was, every single thing was a barrier they could never cross.
She longed for calm, but life kept surring up trouble.
Brianna felt like duckweed adrift on the water, rootless and vulnerable.
She wanted to put down roots, to find a place to belong. But the relentless winds and waves kept tossing her about, leaving her lost and unsettled.
Brandon returned, towel in hand.
He noticed the weariness etched across her face and couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for her.
He gently dabbed at her cheeks with the towel.
Noticing the uncertainty in her expression, Brandon asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Thanks,” Brianna replied.
Brandon smiled. “No need to thank me. It’s what husbands do.”
Brianna felt her heart soften, a gentle warmth blooming inside.
She was sincere.
Even though Brandon didn’t love her and knew the baby wasn’t his, he still let her keep her dignity and protected her pride
Suddenly, Brianna felt a pang of regret.
Thinking back to what Brandon said about her relationship with Whitney, she realized it wasn’t just about defending Darcy He couldn’t help it. It was just in his nature, the way he was brought up.
She noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
As she thought back to that night in Seavale, Brianna realized Brandon hadn’t gotten a decent night’s sleep ever since.
Her heart ached for him.
She offered him an apologetic smile.
“You don’t have to worry about me,” she said softly. “Why don’t you get some sleep in the guest i everything.”
Brandon reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’m a grown man. I’m tougher than that.”

Once everything was settled, Brandon finally lay down beside her.
“You should go sleep in the guest room.” Brianna said, worried she might keep him up.
“No,” Brandon muttered. He buried himself in the pillow.
Brianna looked at him, thinking she must’ve misheard

arielle did waaanything to do with the Harper and Meyer families‘ drama.
But if anyone dared to try to use the Levy family for their own benefit, they were asking for trouble
Gabrielle eyed Darcy with narrowed eyes and gave her a dismissive short.
“Darcy, this whole family drama of yours makes no sense to me.” Gabrielle said.
Darcy blinked her big eyes, looking pitiful and wronged.
Your dad played the villain, and now you’re acting like the saint?” Gabrielle sneered.
Darcy was flustered, desperate to explain herself.
No. Mrs. Levy, that’s not it. I just want Brianna to forgive us,” Darcy said.
Brianna was about to say something, but Gabrielle jumped in first, “I won’t even bother with your parents‘ drama. But you mom moved into the Meyers family’s residence with you when Brianna’s mom’s funeral was barely over”
Gabrielle let out a mocking laugh. “None of the things your family’s done is respectable.”
Gabrielle paused. her voice dominating the room. “If you want Brianna’s forgiveness, crying a little won’t cut it. You’d come up with something real”
Darcy knew firsthand how sharp Gabrielle could be. She was way tougher to handle than Brianna
Darcy didn’t respond, just kept crying, looking even more pitiful
“Brianna if I could lay my heart bare for you, you’d know how sincere I am.” Darcy sobbed.
Brianna was left speechless by Darcy’s crocodile tears and just shook her head sarcastically.
Brandon pulled Darcy up from the floor.
She was all cried out, slumping weakly against Brandon.

As soon as they stopped out, Gabrielle followed after them.
Brandon Gabrielle called out
Her voice was low, but carried a clear warning.
Brandon turned around to explain to Gabrielle, “I’ll have the driver take her home, and I’ll be back right away.”
Gabrielle didn’t say another word.
About ten minutes later, Brandon saw Darcy off and returned to the hospital room.
Brianna noticed his shirt was covered in tear stains, clearly from Darcy.
After all the chaos, once Brandon was back, the two families slowly began to disperse.
Kendra was scared of Gabrielle. She wanted to stay with her parents, but one/sharp look from Gabrielle made her obediently leave, trailing behind without a word.
Inside the hospital room, only Brianna and Brandon remained.
Brianna lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Life is just a total mess, Brianna thought.

When Patsy heard the news, she was to pumped for Brianna, already planting a proper celebration for her
Before the workday was everower. Whitney stormed into Brianna’s office his facecwisted with rage.
Seeing his aggresive demeanor, Brianna crossed her arms.
She didn’t bother to greet him or offer him a seat. She just stared him down
Whitney’s frown deepened. But he still managed to keep his anger in check
“Brianna, you need to explain this whole court thing to me.” Whitney said, his tone full of authority
“Grandma is a beneficiary too. She has every right to a piece of Mom’s estate. Brianna said
Brianna’s face was stone–cold.
“Do you really have to drag this into court? If word gets out, Blanca will be so embarrassed‘ Whitney said.
“Oh, so you know it’s embarrassing? Maybe try not doing gross stuff in the first place, Brianna snapped, letting out a cold, mocking laugh.
Whitney’s forehead veins bulged with anger, barely keeping his temper in check
“For my sake, make the Harper family drop the lawsuit, Whitney ordered, a look of disdain on his face.
“Has the Harper family sunk so low that they’re trying to snatch a dead woman’s stuff?” Whitney sneered.
Brianna laughed angrily. Her anger surged so hard that she could barely see straight
She leaned forward, her eyes blazing with fury.
“Why don’t you just return the jewelry you took, huh?” Briakina shot back.
Whitney’s eyes flickered slyly, and he gave a greasy, sycophantic smile.
“I only took the jewelry out of the bank because I was afraid the Harper family would try to grab it.” Whitney said
He tried to sow discord and continued, “Your mom’s things are meant for you. Don’t let the Harper family put the wool over your eyes. Only I really care about you”
Brianna felt utterly repulsed by his brazen and shameless demeanor.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to just leave the jewelry in the bank? Why’d you even take it out?” Brianna retorted
Whitney was stunned, unable to respond.
His face flushed bright red, his patience wearing thin
Tin here today to make sure the Harper family drops the lawsuit Call that old woman right now, or else don’t blame me for what happens next, Whitney threatened
Brianna’s face was red with anger as she jumped up, shouting at him, “Listen up, I’m the one who started this lawsuits It’s not just about the jewelry I’m getting it all back, even Unity Group.”

Chapter 48–
Whitney’s face twisted in fury, his eyes practically popping out as he bellowed, “So that’s how it is? You ungrateful brat! Suing your own father? Aren’t you something!”
Guys like Whitney never even realized how shameless they were. Instead, they acted like they were the victims and tried to guilt–trip everyone else.
I’m telling you, drop the lawsuit right now, or else–Whitney threatened.
“Or what? Are you planning to have me kidnapped again?” Brianna probed, raising her voice.
A flicker of guilt flashed across Whitney’s face, but he quickly replaced it with a menacing scowl.
“Don’t assume just because the Levy family’s got your back, I can’t do anything to you,” Whitney snarled. “So, it really was you who had me kidnapped?” Brianna pressed, trying to see how he’d react. “Kidnapping? What the hell are you talking about? I don’t know anything about that,” Whitney flat–out denied it.
“You ungrateful brat! Do you even have a heart? Suing your own father and now throwing dirt on me?” Whitney shouted. The commotion was so loud that a bunch of coworkers gathered in the hallway, eavesdropping on the juicy gossip. Brianna felt like she’d been stripped bare in front of everyone. She was mortified and furious all at once.
The office door swung open, and Patsy walked in.
“Mr. Meyers, why are you so angry? I could hear you roaring from downstairs,” Patsy mocked.
“You’re just in time. Be my judge. Have you ever heard of a daughter suing her own father?” Whitney demanded.
Then he turned and started berating Brianna again, “Ask your friend. Does she treat her own father like this?”
Brianna was so angry that her stomach twisted in knots. Her hands trembled, and her face burned red. She was too furious to even speak.
Still, she kept herself together, determined not to show any weakness in front of him.
“Mr. Meyers, my dad never went around keeping a mistress or having a secret kid. No way you can compare us, just forget it.” Patsy grinned at Whitney, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Whitney was so pissed that he looked like he was about to go off the deep end, snarling at Patsy, “You two are in cahoots. Don’t act like you’re any better. No wonder the Sampson family has fallen. Just wait and see,“
With that, Whitney spun around and stormed out of the office.
He kicked the plant stand by the door so hard that it toppled over, sending glass and ceramic crashing everywhere with a loud bang
Patsy, hot–tempered as ever, stormed after Whitney, cursing him. “And you think you’re a saint? You lived off your wife sneaked around with a mistress, and handed your wife’s stuff over to your mistress.
“You old scumbag, who the hell do you think you are, trying to boss me around?
“We’re in cahoots? You, Blanca, and Darcy are in cahoots instead. You cheat on your wife, then push your own illegitimate daughter to be a mistress. Your family is trash, through and through!”
